Television (TV) is reemerging as a focal point for common experiences and community formation through the use of various digital technologies while viewing. A prominent example of this is second screening, or the use of various technologies to share reactions to and attitudes and opinions about what we see and hear while watching TV with other (virtual) viewers. We contend that second screening requires communication scholars to rethink the nature of the TV entertainment experience, as the practice increasingly blurs lines between interpersonal and mass communication processes. In this article, we introduce a conceptual model designed to identify key issues to be considered and addressed by those seeking to better understand entertainment experiences during socially shared TV viewing.

互相娱乐吗？

电视（TV）逐渐成为人们通过观看时使用各种数字技术获得共同经验和社区形成的焦点。其中一个突出的例子是第二次放映，或者使用各种技术与其他（虚拟）观众在观看电视时分享对我们所见所闻的反应，态度和观点。我们认为，第二次放映需要传播学者重新考虑电视娱乐体验的本质，因为这种做法越来越模糊了人际传播和大众传播过程之间的界线。在本文中，我们介绍了一种概念模型，旨在识别那些试图在社交共享的电视观看期间更好地理解娱乐体验的人们要考虑和解决的关键问题。
